Attachment Records

1856-1920

Series documents liens placed on real property by the county to
satisfy debts. Attachments are ordered by the circuit court and
authorize the sheriff to seize or transfer property to satisfy
debts such as loans, mortgages, or tax liens. The sheriff will
hold the property in trust until the debt is paid or the property
is sold. Information includes defendant name, statement of
attachment, property description, statement of return when
attachment is satisfied, return of execution, dates attachment is
issued and returned, court order, and sheriff's signature.
Attachment records have been inventoried through 1920.
